Yes, Bollywood makes gangster films. This fast-paced documentary populated by a charismatic and often surreal cast of characters, goes beyond the tinselly glamour of Bollywood to explore some of the industry s darker sides. With unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to a star-studded, high octane Bombay gangster movie, 'Shot in Bombay' tells three entwined stories: the rise of the city's underworld in the 90s, narrated by 'Bombay's Dirty Harry'; the tribulations of superstar Sanjay Dutt, on trial for alleged involvement in India's largest terrorist attack; and a young director's dogged quest to master the delicate art of making a Bollywood blockbuster.

The film is split into three correlative threads; a background account of Bombay's criminal past narrated by retired police officer A. A. Khan, the making of high-octane gangster movie 'Shooting at Lokhandwala', and a profile of its star, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt. What makes this story all the more interesting is Dutt's involvement in a high-profile terrorist trial, in which he stands accused of participating in India's largest terrorist attack. As the actor desperately longs to clear his name, the filmmaking team are just as desperate to complete their film before their lead is sentenced.
